a state visit to france or in the role of white house gardener. along a trump has her very own style she's a household name in her native slovenia though she hasn't returned to the country in fifteen years everyone has an opinion about the u.s. first lady. one of the best. beauty. in the world in politics. i don't see her performing as many administrative tasks as for example michelle obama obama was harping she's rehearsal. mainly because his group rests she is pretty as is expected of a first lady more to be better about. the lawn your tramp is already a style icon for some and her ubiquitous sky high heels have even ignited heated topic debate. where. the white house it was designed by slovenia's.

there was a war the but the real story is one of us live in the end cinderella who made it into the white house and is living the american dream. the part of the part of the world but there you go from being a nobody to suddenly being the most famous woman in the world. that is had a positive effect but all of the for the flu because some people have low self-esteem. but it's great for. stories about money our circulation boosters even if no one has a direct line to the first lady sources are old school friends and their memories of madonna as well as social media and people from the last fashion see one piece of fan salami first lady many other regional products are part of the first lady based in mrs trump's hometown. the products have yet to sell my cost cakes.

how to use the buildings next year to use the lights and combination of the buildings is amazing i think that's what i love about latin everywhere it's just a bite from the norm you know it doesn't happen inside about it close to votes and that so many people out to come and say this. is my special. downtown london have been flocked to traffic to provide an expected two million visitors with unfettered access to the monumental projections like here at piccadilly circus. and the royal college of on. the square at kings cross railway station looks like it's under water. and the statues of westminster abbey with retraced contours are colored and projected on to the church. helen marriage is the artistic director of

london she's been organizing art in public spaces since two thousand and five. i think technology has changed i think people's appetite has changed i think in a world where now everything we see is mediated through a screen you know a telephone or a tablet or a computer the something rather wonderful about inviting people to come out for real in the cold and dark and stand together and see things that's really tangible . but size isn't everything many small installation to service much attention like the umbrella project associations. i'm local residents are performing their own choreographies in various places across town to french artists have turned one of numbers famous red telephone booths into an aquarium. joke polka britain has for ming goes flying through the streets of chinatown as

vibrations. when you're actually flying on it you can feel that actual sounds in your ears a kind of hurts because it's quite loud but it is. a maze it is very fine it is amazing michael davis designed the machine he wants to help spectators get over their inhibitions about making music and encourage them to just try playing. one really important thing that it brings out people it's is it is equality between people because. when you come together here there is no language being spoken all kinds of people will come together or you know young people old people people with no common ground whatsoever and yet music gives people that common ground and i think that's why it's so valuable. that's the bit of light on the. dark winter

evenings that the british capital invite and come. all this week we wanted to know what brings light into your lives and we give out a big thanks first of all to all of those who took the time to send us pictures like these ones here that you can see beside me great shots of all the good things in life from natural scenes to people's families and of course their beloved pets and the winning picture this time around was sent to us. from bogota in colombia and the light of her life is this little ballerina here under the tree and that is her daughter so martha is also the winner of our euro max wrist watch so congratulations to her and thanks to all of you for playing along. well all right now to our series fifty kitchens one city which proves that berlin's ever growing
